The Victoria Tower is a skyscraper in the Kista district of Stockholm . It houses the Scandic Victoria Tower hotel and was opened on September 15, 2011. It was designed by the Swedish architecture firm Wingårdh.

At 118 meters, it towers over the Kista Science Tower in the same district, making it Stockholm's second-tallest building after the Kaknästornet . The Victoria Tower has 34 floors, 22 of which are occupied by the hotel and the remainder by offices. There are conference rooms on the 33rd floor and the skybar on the top.

According to the operator, the 'Scandic Victoria Tower' is Scandinavia's tallest hotel.

The lead architect Gert Wingårdh designed the skyscraper with a basic shape that resembles a T. The glittering facade consists almost entirely of triangular windows in eight different types, which differ in the treatment of the outside. In addition to Wingårdh, Karolina Keyzer , who has been Stockholm's city architect since August 2010, was primarily responsible for the project. The owner of the Victoria Tower, estimated at around 600 million Swedish crowns, is the Norwegian investor Arthur Buchardt. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 5, 2009.
